Elements of Successful Treatment
Eradication vs. Control
As far as bed bug treatment goes, here’s the long and
short of it: Heat treats everything. Heat is the most
effective and fastest way to eradicate bedbugs.
Any treatment method that
does not include heat will
only control the infestation,
it will not eradicate it. You
have to get rid of every last
bed bug, and their eggs,
to solve the problem. Bed
bugs can, and do, hide in the
smallest, most ridiculously
improbable crevices (not just
in beds), so you need to treat
everything with intensive
heat. Obviously, the fewer opportunities you give bed
bugs to crawl away, the better.
Bed Bug Treatment Experts
Plunkett’s has the largest heat treatment fleet in the
industry. We can handle large heat treatment jobs in a
day that others might take weeks to complete.
Education & Awareness - Separating the hype from
the facts and helping folks understand what happens
when bed bugs interrupt their life, at home or at work.
Plunkett’s believes in the power of information. Accurate
and up-to-date bed bug information will help us all fight
the current bed bug blight.
Cost Containment - There’s no getting around the
fact that getting rid of bed bugs can be an expensive
proposition. But it can be less expensive if the infestation
is caught early. The earlier a bed bug infestation is found,
the easier it is to get rid of them, which reduces the
amount of treatment time and materials and lowers the
overall cost of eradicating the bed bug infestation.
Treatment - To eliminate bed bugs, Plunkett’s employs
a treatment protocol that includes thermal remediation
(heat treatment) and strategic chemical application.
Plunkett’s has tested every possible method of bed bug
eradication and has played a significant role in perfecting
the heat + chemical solution. It is the most effective
method for eliminating bed bugs today. Our success rate
is excellent.
Our team is well-trained, experienced, efficient, and
effective. They will respect your property and perform
their work discreetly.

Bed Bug Heat Treatment Program
A program for comprehensive treatment for bed bugs in almost any interior environment.
Program Consists Of...
• Education for our client about pre-treatment area preparation.
• Scheduled heat treatment and limited application of insecticide dust.
• Thorough monitoring of pest activity.
• Detailed documentation and reporting.
• 30-day guarantee.
Service Protocol
Heat treatment involves 3 stages:
1. An initial application of residual insecticides.
2. A heat treatment during which the entire treatment area is heated an average of 135 ˚F. Hot air is
circulated using fans and temperatures are monitored throughout the treatment area(s).
3. A follow-up application of residual insecticides.
One and Done
In the majority of cases, this regimen eliminates all bed bugs and their eggs immediately. Infrequently, a few
bugs might survive for a few days afterward, in which case we would perform up to two additional follow-up
treatments at no cost to you.
The good news? In most cases, we achieve complete eradication of bed bugs with a one-day treatment (vs.
other methods of treatment that require several days or weeks of scheduled treatments).
